Formscan By John O'Riordan - HOPEFUL HERO(4) disappointed when sent off favourite at Galway last time but is worth another chance to recover losses. A winner at Bellewstown on his previous start, the Tom Hogan-trained gelding had his excuses when failing to fire at Ballybrit. A lightly raced son of Raven's Pass, the five-year-old remains open to improvement over hurdles and has to be a leading contender. Lips Freedom was another that didn't quite live up to expectations at Galway having come into the meeting on the back of two victories. Well handicapped relative to his Flat form, the Free Eagle gelding shouldn't be discounted. Home By The Sea ran better than the result suggests at Ballinrobe recently having been badly hampered two out.

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (110 = 11st 12lbs)
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Lips Freedom (GER)

I suppose the ground has been against him over hurdles, he was keen and took a few runs to get going and just settle. I think he was getting his tongue over the bit, so it wasn't the case that he was nervous and I had the tongue-tie on him but he has no wind problems. I know this track well and had a good mare, Hidden Land, who was keen and here suits those type of horses. You can let them roll and they get a breather up the hill. Hopefully, he will show his potential as he had good form in Germany and actually finished seventh in a German Derby (of 20 runners in 2023). He is just a work in progress and, on better ground he can mix it between Flat and hurdles. He had run in a couple of schooling races and we were hoping that the track and better ground could bring out improvement. Donagh gave him a lovely ride and it worked out. Hopefully, he can be a nice horse who can progress and he could be competitive in some of those nice (Flat) handicaps, so we could bring to England. We wanted to get that winner on the board because we weren't busy last winter.

Quotes on Mo Ghille Mar (IRE)

She was always capable of doing it but she’s quirky,. She was a 90-rated Flat mare, when she decides to go she goes but when she doesn’t she doesn’t. You’ll have a good day and a bad day with her. The other horse took her on but Gary knew she had a bit of speed so he gave her a breather down the far side. He said before he jumped the second last it was over. She’s a right mare but she’s very quirky. My heart is broke with her!. My horses are just starting to come. It’s my first winner for Bronsan Racing, they sent her to me from Jessica Harrington’s. In fairness Jessie was very good and told me everything they did with her and it worked for me as well.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Kilt (IRE)

That’s fantastic as he’s been a very tricky horse and was a runaway on the Flat. I said to Shane to ride him four lengths last, to try and sit there as long as he could but if he was getting keen on him not to disappoint him. The owners are great. The Sloans are from the north and it’s the first horse they’ve had with me. A special mention to William Jones, who is from Dubai and married to one of my best friends. They are great supporters and have a few lovely horses at home to run over the next year. They are really good people and I’m delighted to have a winner for them.
